I'd think more about how big you want it and how many strings you want to have.Concert Grand pedal harp The Style 23 CG pedal harp, professionalĬreated by Lyon & Healy in 1890, this complex harp is symbolic of the Victorian era during which it was first made. You'll adjust quicky if you try to change instruments. Overall I'd say that the spacing isn't a huge concern. It also keeps it a little lighter and probably shaves a bit off the cost. I suspect that the harpsicles strings are closer because that lets them make a smaller instrument with more strings than it would have otherwise. The Troubadour's brass eyelets and Sitka spruce soundboard help give it a clear, full sound.

With 5 complete octaves, the Troubadour VI has the same string spacing and tension as Lyon and Healy pedal harps. However, the transition from the harpsicle spacing to the therapy harp took less than a week. The world's best selling lever harp, the Lyon and Healy Troubadour VI is the perfect instrument for both beginning and experienced harpists. When I upgraded to a nicer levered therapy harp after about 3 years on the harpsicle I definitely noticed that the strings were spaced slightly further apart on my new harp. She often commented that the strings on harpsicles were close together, which was contributing to a lot of buzzing from members while we practiced (you try to pluck a string but brush up against another while doing that). She has both lever harps and pedal harps and plays in an orchestra.

My harp teacher had a harp choir going with 20ish harpists - all beginners.

I'm not sure about harpsicles being the same spacing as concert harps.
